You have to understand that this is Daikatana, an expert FPS. You cannot expect to just throw a glance at it and understand it. You must memorise these messages, know them like a true samurai knows the Bushido by heart. Daikatana - it is more than fan fiction about a D&D campaign, it is a way of life. Design is Law.

Let's Play Star Trek Online! It's a game with some bizarre problems (not the least of which: it thinks it's an MMORPG) which, nonetheless, still manages to be fairly entertaining. Q: Wait, Poptarts, you said this was an MMORPG? Isn't Let's Playing an MMORPG kinda stupid? Yeah, it would be-if I considered Star Trek Online to be an MMORPG. It really isn't (or, rather, it is in the same way that Dawn of War II is a real-time strategy game). Honestly, STO is a single-player story-based game where...

Paper Mario was released in North America in 2001 by the developer Intelligent Systems; known for their fantastic WarioWare, Fire Emblem and Advanced Wars series. The game is the first in a series which continued on the Gamecube (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door) and the Wii (Super Paper Mario). The game has been criticized for being ridiculously easy, and it is. I'll be playing the game and commentating with Wogturt. Original Archived Version available at The Let's Play Archive .

Nintendo has a very well refined game design process. They take all their old ideas, put them on a bingo board, and play through a round. All the squares that got covered on the winner's bingo sheet end up in the next game they make. Some time ago, this process went wrong, and a rogue employee jammed some new ideas into a Mario game. The game was New Super Mario Brothers on the DS, and it included moving scenery and something likes a physics system. Nintendo knew that the only way to make...

Final Fantasy XII was conceptualized by SquareEnix's Matsuno as part of the Ivalice series of games. Unfortunately due to rumored pressure to get a game out and disputes over such trivial things as the main character, Matsuno left the company for 'health' reasons while FFXII was halfway through development. The result is a game that has some interesting concepts but an inconsistent story and characters. The gameplay itself can be described similarly as interesting with some caveats. The game...

Dead Space is a game that just kind of happened. Electronic Arts has never been known for releasing survival-horror, and Redwood Studios only did licensed work, like The Godfather and The Simpsons. But somehow, a group of people sat down and said, "We love sci-fi. We love horror. Let's make a survival-horror game in space." And they did. And it was great.

Donkey Kong 64 is a platformer/collectathon that was released by Rareware for the N64 on Halloween, 1999. It was later rereleased on 12/06/99 packaged with an N64 Expansion Pak, which does all sorts of technical stuff to make the game look really nice. At least, by N64 standards. The game primarily revolves around Donkey Kong and his four other Kong friends and their quest to obtain as many bananas as humanly (simianly?) possible. It is thematically quite similar to Super Mario 64 and the Banjo...

It was one of the very first games to establish the phrase "survival horror." Known for its sluggish controls and bad voice acting, the classic game has now sold over 2.7 million copies. It established the concepts and characters that would stick around all the way to the recent Resident Evil 5, such as Chris Redfield, Albert Wesker and the...

The game is indeed hard, unforgiving, and at times cruel, but I personally never felt that the game was unfair-I know there are likely plenty out there who would disagree. You earn each death just as you earn each accomplishment, and your own experience level and skill with the game will take you much farther than the level of your character ever could. In other words, you can't simply grind your way to victory in...

Beyond Good & Evil was a multi-platform game released in 2003 by Ubisoft and created by Michel Ancel, of Rayman fame. The game was released for the PS2, Gamecube, Xbox, and eventually the PC, which is the version we are playing. BG&E, despite receiving great reviews, sold poorly. The game had very little advertising from Ubisoft and came out the same time many other big name titles did. Within a month of the game's release, its price had been cut from 50 dollars to 20.

Anticipation and excitement was high for a sequel that could be as good as, or even better than, the original. But when Devil May Cry 2 was released in 2003, it was a massive disappointment. Completely missing everything that was so great about the original, the game was a completely mediocre affair, leaving a bad taste in the mouths of gamers. If...

Why this game, rather than the others in the series? Well, GTA 3 doesn't have motorcycles, and San Andreas is just too big. Besides that, I picked Vice City because I just felt like it. Hey, how about running cool mods for extra cars and stuff? No mods. Mainly because, in my experience, they make things more crashy. Also most people probably played the PS2 version, which couldn't have any mods. Are you doing a 100% run? No. No way in hell. I doubt I'll even get 20 packages. I'll do all the...

Punch-Out!! for the Wii was released early in the summer of 2009. It is more of a reimagining of the original NES Punch-Out!! then a completely new game. This does not mean that it doesn't bring anything new to the table. The controls are tighter, boxers actually have personalities, and there are new modes as well. For more info then I have the patience to put here refer to this . Original Archived Let's Play available at the Let's Play Archive

What is Alone in the Dark 3? The third entry in the Alone in the Dark trilogy obviously had nowhere left to go. The first game covered the zombie angle, with a haunted house, creepy atmosphere, and Cthulu-inspired monsters. The second one included every other cool thing in existence, like pirates, explosions, rescuing the little girl, and dressing up as Santa Claus to gun down enemies with a Thompson. So what elements could possibly make a worthy conclusion to the series? Original Archived...

Tecmo's Fatal Frame series is one of the most successful and original horror game franchises out there. Four titles have been released since 2001 (three in the US) with another rumored to be in development. Eschewing standard combat and grotesque monsters for traditional Japanese-style ghosts who can only be exorcised with the powers of the mysterious Camera Obscura, these games are probably the closest thing in look and feel to a Japanese horror film you can find on a console.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is the tenth Zelda game and the third 3D one, released in early 2003. It's somewhat similar to its 3D predecessors in the way it controls, but there are some major changes. The combat system is improved by the ability to parry certain enemy attacks and pick up weapons such as sticks, spears, and greatswords. The art style is vastly different, taking on a stylized cel-shading design. The biggest change to the series, however, comes in the form of one of the...

Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones (aka The Two Kingdoms in France or Rival Swords on Wii and PSP) is the final opus of the revamped trilogy started in 2003 by Ubi Soft, based upon the famous creation of Jordan Mechner. It's principally a platforming game but also contains combat and puzzles. OOOOkay... So why should I watch this ?

The King's Quest Wiki tells many sad stories concerning the eighth entry in the series, including the reason for the lack of a Roman numeral - Roberta Williams didn't want people to associate this travesty with the earlier, good games in the series. Okay, I paraphrase, but the fact remains that this game isn't very good, and Sierra knew it. It abandons everything that the King's Quest series had - interesting stories, challenging puzzles, and the beloved main characters of the royal family of...

In 1994, there was Star Trek Generations, a pretty good Trek movie up until the last act, when the plot stops returning making sense's calls, and Captain Kirk shows up in a --in my humble opinion-- completely counterproductive and undesirable last moment of glory. Good movie, but I think cutting out the entire Kirk storyline and the thereby unnecessary time travel parts would've made it far better. But never mind that. Three years after the release of the movie, there was this game, Star Trek...

Way back in the early years of this decade, LucasArts realized that people not only enjoyed Star Wars, which they had happily been making and publishing horrible games about for years, but that they also enjoyed tactical shooters. But then, in a stroke of genius, they realized that many people, and gamers in particular, lack the intelligence to play Rainbow Six or Ghost Recon and so they decided that you, the player, should have as little say in the game's decision making as possible.

That's right, the bear and bird duo. If you've never heard of this game, it was an extremely successful adventure game on the N64, so much so that most people would agree it surpasses even Mario 64. It spawned three sequels (one to be released later this year) and one spin-off racing game. The story is simple, an evil witch has kidnapped Banjo's sister in order to sap her prettiness and make herself beautiful, and it's our job, as bear-and-bird team, to put a stop to this.

It was entirely text based. How does the gameplay work for this? It's a first person point and click adventure puzzle game. Think Myst. Actually the game is rather similar to Myst in a lot of ways, it just adds a sense of humor to the whole approach. The Zork games are all great, but this is the first one I played, so...

This leads to her going out on an adventure to discover her past and the secrets of the world of Aquaria. I will be doing 100%, getting all treasures...
